In my book Illness Politics & Hashtag Activism, I write about how Wikileaks's release of hacked Hillary Clinton emails was used to circulate speculation that Clinton was hiding a secret illness under hashtags #SickHillary & #HillarysHealth. This was #IllnessPolitics weaponized against Clinton.

Photo discussed in chapter 1, #SickHillary, From my book ILLNESS POLITICS & HASHTAG ACTIVISM. Photograph of Hillary Clinton slipping on steps while campaigning in Charleston, South Carolina in February 2016. REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst, https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/hillary-clinton-slipping-on-stairs/. Reprinted with permission of REUTERS/Jonathan Ernst.

I discuss this photo of Hillary Clinton slipping on steps while campaigning in SC in Feb 2016. I write in a chap on #SickHillary, “Like Kremlinologists trying to ascertain the health of aging Soviet leaders, people pored over still images & short videos for evidence of Clinton’s secret illness."
